Quelle sécurité pour un lit escamotable ?

How safe is a retractable bed?

The Murphy bed
Summary

Installing a wall bed raises an important question: safety. What guarantees does a wall bed provide? Is it really safe to use? Wall beds have several safety features , both in terms of their attachment and opening system. The bed is also perfectly held in place thanks to straps that connect the mattress to the bed base.

Bed safety with folding system

The foldaway wall bed is a clever and practical piece of furniture , which saves a lot of space in small spaces or rooms (bedroom, studio, living room, etc.), regardless of its opening direction , horizontal or vertical. But what about its safety? Is the system really safe?

Your choice should be a patented and approved system . This will ensure that your folding bed has all the necessary safety features. The locking catch and shock absorbers are essential elements for securing the descent and preventing the bed from accidentally opening. Whether you're a child or an adult, the mechanism is suitable for everyone, in complete safety.

A good wall mount for the Murphy bed frame

Another essential criterion for the safety of your Murphy bed : wall mounting. Indeed, it is essential that your Murphy bed be securely anchored to a load-bearing wall, whether it's a drop-down bed or a drop-down bed. The Murphy bed mechanism is heavy, and to ensure safe use day after day, the wardrobe must be securely attached to a wall. Your Murphy bed is secured using a bracket system. This is an assembly step that should not be overlooked!

Bedding and safety

Regarding the bedding of your Murphy bed , be aware that there is a maximum thickness that should not be exceeded. Generally, it is set at 20 to 25 cm, depending on the model. This may seem like a detail, but it is very important to respect this criterion. Otherwise, you will not be able to completely close your bed cabinet and safety would be compromised.

So make sure you choose a mattress that fits perfectly into your bed frame. It will then be secured to the box spring using a strap for good support and restful sleep.
